Florida Landlord/Tenant Attorneys

Navigating the landlord/tenant relationship

Every property is different and every landlord and tenant has varying goals and expectations. While using a form contract for a lease may seem like a good way to save money and time, form agreements often omit crucial issues that are important for a particular transaction. That is why it is important for a landlord to have an experienced real estate attorney review a lease agreement before presenting it to tenants.

Burke Blue attorneys know that it is best for lease agreements to be distinct, clear and complete so potential issues can be minimized. The law generally favors tenants in residential landlord/tenant disputes. For this reason, it is important for landlords to protect themselves with a well-drafted lease that clearly defines their rights and responsibilities. The real estate attorneys of Burke Blue understand that a sound and comprehensive lease can go a long way toward preventing landlord and tenant disputes. Our attorneys have been using their legal knowledge and experience to foster mutually beneficial relationships between landlords and tenants for the past 45 years.
